Constellation Field
Sugar Land, TX
Review by Mike
Constellation Field is the home of the Sugar Land Space Cowboys of the Pacific Coast League. Prior to Minor League-Aggedon in 2021, this ballpark had been home to the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League. While very similar in design to other Atlantic League ballparks, Constellation Field was a step up in both size and overall nice-ness. While being a bit more ballpark than one would expect for independent ball, it’s also a little understated for AAA. It feels like a really nice AA stadium.
The Space Cowboys are the top affiliate of the Houston Astros, and with just 22 miles separating Constellation Field from Daikin Park, call ups are as easy as commuting to work from the suburbs. The facility is in tip-top condition, as one would expect at a ballpark that is just 15 years old and serving AAA baseball.
A large party deck under a blue tent resides beyond the left-field fence. A large playground is found in left-centerfield, a biergarten in right center and a grassy berm in right field. The outfield fence bows inward in both left and right center, a feature that has surely annoyed outfielders about to grasp routine fly balls only to have the stolen by these home run scoops.
A Texas-shaped scoreboard that harkens back to the Rangers old board back in Arlington Stadium stands in dead center field. There is an upper level of suites, but I would expected the roof to extend out just a little further to afford some late-afternoon shade on hot Texas summer evenings, but perhaps they schedule later start times here, rendering that point moot.
This is a fine ballpark, if unremarkable in design. I’ve never done a study, but I’d be interested to know if being so close to the parent MLB club actually helps or hurts attendance. The Space Cowboys were not among the top draws in the PCL in 2025, but they did draw a respectable 3,500 per game. I’m sure the place is packed when an Astro comes down for rehab. They probably clean upon fireworks nights, something the Astros can’t offer at their downtown dome.
